Thanksgiving dinner


So what's on everyone's menu for Thanksgiving? I'm pretty traditional, it's the one day a year I flash back to my childhood and don't want to deviate. Turkey & bread stuffing. Mashed pot & gravy. Mashed yams with pineapple. Green beans & mushrooms. Cranberry sauce. Rolls. By the time we get to pie I couldn't care less, but this year it's apple with cranberries, pumpkin & mincemeat.
How about you?

I'm pretty much with you, docsmom. Thanksgiving is traditional for us, too, but hey, that's good. A 22lb roast Turkey will be on the menu..also bread&sausage stuffing, (oyster stuffing is definitely an option)sweet potatos with toasted marshmallow topping, homemade lefse, green bean cassorole, and..and...well..a whole bunch of goodies. Even some lutefisk for the brave(and stoopid).

I'm a creature of habit..and will be doing pretty much the same thing as we did last year...just in a different place.

BON APPETITE!

Hey Pompano,
That's one hot looking turkey. And so's the bird :)

We considered cooking up a goose again this year...



That was until we saw the $51.00 price tag.

The $9.00, twice the size Butterball was the better option.

We too will have all the traditional goodies, except for those nasty little pearl onions drenched in fish food (Velveeta cheese). I'm putting my (turkey) foot down on that one.

I heard on the radio [ for you young folks who don't know what that is, go to Google ] this morning that WalMart is selling turkeys for 40 cents per pound. That's almost free.

Have a good friend who married into a Swedish family and said that after many years, she actually looked forward to the lutefisk on Christmas. Then again she grew up with a Scottish father and learned to like Finnan Haddie. And another friend never thought it was a holiday without some scrapple. I tried all three, and I pass!

If you spend $25.00 at Von's you can get up to a 16lb turkey for $5.00. We are collecting them---takes nothing to spend $25.00.

Now for my family, homemade apple sauce is a must for T-day.

Thanksgiving dinner is about the cheapest meal of the year. Turkey .37 lb. Yams .25 lb. Potatoes .25 lb. And the guests are bringing the wine. All that's left for me is the labor and it's my favorite thing!
Happy Thanksgiving all!

If you want the greatest cranberry sauce recipe ever, let me know. I'm not really a fan but the DH makes the best ever!

Thanksgiving in Rosarito With Friends


They hail from Brooklyn and Afghanistan and are making turkey, stuffing, curry and biryani amongst other goodies.

We are bringing mashed garlic potatoes, tangerine-lime couscous salad, french lentil-mustard salad and cocos con camarones.

Might I suggest substituting a chunk of lutefisk instead of olives?

Vodka, of course... and shaken, not stirred.

We are eating out. 40 bucks for two. Pretty pricey, but we get to bring home the whole dinner( turkey and fixings) when we are done including a whole pie. We can feast on this for days and then the turkey soup. I usually freeze the carcass because by this time we are turkeyed out and cook the soup later.

OK Just picked up my Turkey at Albertsons it was like a few bucks with my $25.00 purchase. Now I bought that dern oven bag so that I dont dry the poor beast out like I do year after year. Any of you guys know how to cook one of these suckers without drying it out?
